				| Not sure what the theme of the patterns game is or the significance of the 6.5 rating. At any rate, I used a whole bunch of ordinary techniques, many of which were probably not necessary. My final move was an XY-Wing. 
 For example, I made three moves before I noticed there was a triple in one box. There were probably other similar oversights as well.
